[PD-dev] naming loaders: pdlua, tclpd, etc.

[marius schebella]

what exactly *is* the lua loader? is it a wrapper? or a library? I was 
confused in the beginning bcause I thought the "thing" was named pdlua, 
but the "thing" was loaded with lib- lua (so I thought it *is* a 
library, but named like lua, the language itself? hmm..)
